Douluo: Starting from the Plot to Seize Luo Sanpao

Chapter 7 Treatment of the Protagonist - Wind Baboon
The mountain is covered with green, layer upon layer. When the mountain breeze blows, the bamboo sea rises and falls. It is extremely spectacular, which makes people feel broad-minded. Leo is walking among them.

It has rained in the past few days, and a lot of spikes have popped up on the ground. They are the black jade bamboo shoots, which taste particularly fragrant. Paired with my carrot martial spirit, and fried into a dish, the taste is so good.

And I don’t know why, but the further you go in, the better the bamboo shoots taste.

This inevitably aroused a hint of curiosity in Leo's heart.

So after thinking it over again and again, Leo took a deep breath of the fresh forest air and walked deeper into the bamboo forest with a hatchet.

His instinct told him that there must be something good in it.

In the early morning, a light mist floats in the bamboo forest, like a veil. The bamboo leaves gently set off the crystal clear dewdrops, reflecting the sunlight that penetrates.

As Leo went deeper, the air around him became fresher. Taking a deep breath even gave him a refreshing feeling, and the soul power in his body also began to surge slightly.

This means that the energy density here is much higher than other places.

"Could it be that there is some natural treasure?"

Leo raised his eyebrows, and the joy in his eyes became even greater. If this was true, then he could be considered to have made a profit.

Just as he was moving forward while sensing the energy density around him, a black jade bamboo stretched out horizontally and blocked his way.

He was about to raise his knife to chop.

"call out--"

Suddenly, there was a dull sound, and Leo felt a pain in his forehead, as if something had hit him on the forehead. He immediately looked down and saw a pine cone rolling on the ground.

There are black jade bamboos everywhere here, and this kind of fruit does not exist at all. Where did it come from?
The next moment, a shrill sound rang out.

"Uuuuuu——"

Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion in the bamboo forest. A black shadow flashed by, climbed to the top of the bamboo forest in a few seconds, and looked down at Leo.

This is a monkey creature less than one meter tall, with brown hair all over its body, brown eyes, and a pair of extremely long arms. Perhaps this is why it can move freely in the bamboo forest.

There are sharp nails on its claws, canine teeth exposed at its lips, and fierce light in its eyes. It stares at Leo intently and keeps howling, as if it is going to attack Leo at the next moment.

"this is"

Leo was stunned when he saw the creature.

If I remember correctly, this creature was introduced in the "Soul Beast Handbook". It seemed to be called something like "Wind Baboon"?
Wait, this looks familiar.

Leo suddenly remembered that Huo Yuhao, the protagonist of Douluo Dalu II, killed a ten-year-old wind baboon when he first appeared? And he almost died at the hands of that soul beast?!
Oh no, how come I am treated like the protagonist?

Leo's heart trembled. Huo Yuhao was able to defeat the wind baboon because the other party had a powerful soul guide, but what about himself? He only had a broken hatchet, and there was no way he could be the opponent of this wind baboon.

But why are there traces of soul beasts near the Holy Soul Village? There are very few wild animals here, so how could a soul beast suddenly appear?
Leo's alarm bells started ringing.

But soon, he seemed to recognize something and suddenly realized it.

"This is a wind baboon that has just become a soul beast!"

Through the introduction in the "Soul Beast Handbook", Leo quickly identified the age of this wind baboon and felt relieved.

Although he couldn't defeat a ten-year soul beast, he could easily defeat a wind baboon that had just become a soul beast. He didn't know what caused this wind baboon to evolve from an ordinary wild beast into a soul beast, and the other party had circled this place as its territory. His unexpected intrusion made the wind baboon think that he had violated its territory.

But the more this happened, the more Leo wanted to try it.

"There must be something good in here."

Something that can turn an ordinary wild beast into a soul beast, I must not miss it.

But the most important thing at the moment is to deal with this damn wind baboon.

But knowing that this wind baboon was only one year old, or even less, Leo acted much bolder.

He raised the hatchet in his hand and chopped it down directly, clearing a path.

The wind baboon seemed to have been invaded and made even harsher sounds. It used its hands and feet to continuously issue warnings to the black jade bamboo.

But Leo just kept moving forward, as if he didn't take the wind baboon seriously at all.

In fact, his attention has always been on the wind baboon. Once the other party makes any move, it will be greeted with his thundering blow.

All we can say is that beasts are beasts after all, and even if they become soul beasts, they cannot avoid the beast nature in their character.

When the wind baboon found that his threats had no effect, he finally couldn't help it and roared.

With a strange cry, he kicked his legs hard and bounced out directly from the black jade bamboo. He rushed towards Leo at lightning speed and stretched out his hands as if to hook him.

Leo was about to be caught.

At this critical moment, Leo suddenly lowered his head and turned around. With smooth and swift movements, he thrust the hatchet in his hand into the wind baboon's chest and then quickly moved away.

The so-called dying struggle means that any life will burst out its most powerful attack at the last moment. Realizing this, Leo did not give the wind baboon any chance at all.

In the blink of an eye, he was ten meters away, watching the wind baboon struggling and bleeding.

After doing all this, Leo could only feel his heart pounding. Although he looked very relaxed, this was all based on his strong physical fitness.

The dragon-type blank martial soul position and the carrot greatly improved his physical fitness, and coupled with the training over the years, he was able to perform such agile movements.

The wind baboon struggled continuously, but the hatchet had already pierced through its body, bleeding profusely, and its defeat was inevitable.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the wind baboon fell to the ground, motionless, and lifeless.

But Leo did not get close. Who knows if the wind baboon was pretending to be dead? If he walked over and got hit by it, it would be more than just a broken skin.

He changed direction and walked towards a place with more concentrated energy.

After entering here, he could clearly feel the flow of energy, as if something was constantly attracting the surrounding energy to gather towards a certain point.

After about fifty steps, the bamboo forest became sparse and finally a piece of open space appeared.

In the very center of the open space, there are two extremely thick giant bamboos standing together. They are much thicker than the surrounding black jade bamboos, with distinct bamboo nodes, and the outer skin reflects a brilliant black color in the sun.
